Early start - out to Sterling Books. Browsed for a long time - first chance to really poke around for a while. Mission accomplished with a copy of Matthew Arnold's Poetical Works following yesterday's inspiration. Wandered and arranged a brief meeting for later. Met the bus, and ended up back in the bookshop. More purchases. Coffee at an outdoor cafe in unexpectedly fine weather. Later, a meal related to one of the many October birthdays - there being lots of people makes me a little wary, but a pleasant event nonetheless. Afterwards, ajourned to Rugby Club where an old friend is now behind the bar, assuring a fine welcome and some good music. Late wander home. A bit gloomy myself later, having gleaned some disturbing news from apparently innocent conversation. Of course, I'm probably just thinking the worst, as ever.

I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
